I am heartbroken that anybody could shoot an innocent animal and am hoping for help with the vet bills already totalling over $4000

Auckland

On Thursday March 19 Sonic was shot with a slug gun which has resulted in her leg being snapped in half. I had to rush my girl to the emergency vets which cost $900 and then she needed to have surgery which has cost $2660. There will also be ongoing costs for removing stitches, and having further xrays to check up on her leg, she will need to be sedated for this

Sonic’s Update 25 May 2020

This update comes with both good and bad news.

The good news is that Sonic has been in for her final Xrays and the vets are happy with her recovery, she is 90% healed and is now able to roam around the house. Sonic is now an inside cat after what has happened.

She is slowly starting to become herself, although she is now very scared we are lucky she is still here with us and she is starting to come out and walk around our lounge which is amazing. Thank you to everybody who has donated. It has certainly helped take the stress off during this time financially.

The bad news is that the shooter has struck again. He has killed our neighbours cat and 3 other cats are missing including one of our strays we looked after that had kittens. We have found who the person was that killed our neighbours cat and the bullets match so we have reported this to the police in hopes he can be charged and arrested.

I wish Sonic a speedy recovery. I understand that you live in a semi- rural and roaming is a cat nature. But this day there are a lot of cat heater out there. You may think it is not fair to keep Sonic inside but for the safe side please try to keep Sonic inside. All my three cats are kept inside with cat fence. My heart will definitely broken if something happened to them. Me and my three fur babies are sending a big hug to you and Sonic ❤️
